| Name | Steve S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The event was sudden and very bright. The sky was overcast and snowy, but the sky was illuminated by the white/blue light from the fireball. The light could be seen for between 2 and 3 seconds before disappearing completely. This is the second fireball I've seen in my life, so I feel pretty lucky. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | It was overcast and snowing, so it wasn't very clear, but there was a sudden, very bright that lit up most of the sky and my pitch dark yard. I would describe this as a terminal flash, but I can't be positive. |
